Ruby Maggard

Office Assistant

Ruby loves to meet new people and hear their stories and life experiences, but if there’s no one around to talk with, she’ll most likely have her nose stuck in a book! Her favorite books include, The Light Between Oceans, and The Book Thief. She was very blessed to travel to Serbia in the summer of 2018, and is excited to see where God will lead her next!
